It was a horrible night for El Tri in Ekaterinburg, but Juan Carlos Osorio's side lives to fight another day in Russia
It all seemed so simple.
Mexico needed to get a point and win the group. Sure, after wins against Germany and Korea, it would've been nice for manager Juan Carlos Osorio to be able to make big changes and rest some regulars. He did the opposite. The change-happy manager went with the same team that won the second game.
It all got so complicated.
Mexico went into the halftime break feeling good.
